The Secretariat Club, Monday, 9/15/25

[Trigger]

I hope you guys had a winning day . My brother and I hit a super for 88 bucks, the early pick 4 for 72 bucks and the late pick 4 but it lost money. That 1 hole at Delaware is really tough on trotters..seen it firsthand many years. My brother and I cashed a few , but still ended up slightly down for the day.
For the week for him and I not counting the trifecta I play every race on my own

Bet$397
Won$527
Ahead  $130 total.

  Excellent

Was a winning day overall, but not at the LBJ,  Harrington to the rescue..again  .  I needed today at the LBJ to get adjusted, and I think I can improve there.  Last year on the last day was when I scored big. 

Seriously wtf is up with the 1 hole?  Does a ghost jump out and go boo 2 secs before the gate opens, because backing way up with some speed horses, and breaking was pretty much the ballgame for them.  The 1 won in race 9 at 3/5 and was dq'd lol.

Please look into that, and does that place have a track vet, if yes check to see if he's boozy or asleep.

The 1 hole on Sunday won 6 of 20 races, 14 of 20 in the money, c'mon please find out what's up, someone altered it somehow.  Then again the lane in the stretch for pocket horses acted like a rocket.  Just wild.

I posted this on the harness side on the jug thread.. but at that track the banking is super steep. TV does not do it justice. That is why it's the fastest half in the country. The first turn is really close to the start as well. Trotters, especially younger ones cannot handle it. That is why pp1 performed so well on Sunday.. more pacing races.. and poorly today. Look on the jug thread on the harness side and I posted the winning percentage of all posts going back to 1992. As far as the track vet goes, you are right on both counts

This is an aberration for a few races there this week which hardly ever happens.. a horse squeezing through along the pylons down the stretch. That rarely happens there with no passing lane of course. My explanation.. tired horses on the lead drifting out a bit from the pylons. Merriman tried it.. I cannot remember the race and almost wrecked trying to squeeze through.. happened right in front of us. Our seats are directly across from the winners circle

Excellent, thank you.  Here is that link of your post:

Yes, again you were correct the majority of 1 hole winners were pacers. 

It's really odd but they all seemed to be breaking or backing up on the straight before the turn, maybe driver influenced as to be cautious.

I remember the race because I hit the win, ex, tri and sup and I said to Bello I hope we (he hit the conso p4) don't get dq'd.  But Wrenn, the 4 did nothing.  And the 5 was innocuous even though left course, 4th placed horse was too far behind, like 6-7 lengths.  Was the 8th race.

Just looked.. correct race 8. He would of hit the console pick 5, but I get the drift. That was the sequence the 72-1 shot squeezed through and one one leg. My brother and I had 3 out of 5 in that sequence

The 2nd race p4 at Harrington was a breeze.  Only paid 20 for .50.  I had 222a, also 2/2/2/345.  Came in 2227. 

When they drug their horse up they win easy there and they do it from the lead.

Nice use of the all button.. I've taught you well young grasshopper ... at Delaware my brother and I are doing $1 pick 4's and 50 cent pick 5's, but we don't spread like you see my tickets at Gulfstream or the NY tracks. Pools aren't big enough. We play tri's and supers and hi 5's off of those tickets. We hit the last hi5 on Sunday for 300 bucks.. that is why we are slightly ahead. We will spread out more on Wednesday and Thursday.

I mentioned this theory when the 74-1 shot won and I said to bello, aren't these cheap races warranted an all, actually that horse won a $20k, but he termed it I don't do a JT  all

Here was the ALL button quote, actually in this thread lol.
